As a diverse and inclusive company that champions equal opportunity, we boast a team of over 8,000 professionals in our global presence across 45 countries in Europe, Latin America, the USA, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

We believe the digital world's challenges require not only the best technologies and partnerships but most importantly, the best people. That's where you come in – we need you to help us scale new heights.

For this position you would be working with our client from the European institutions.

Below are the details of your role and requirements.

Your role:

• Drive the design of a scalable data architecture aligned with ECHA’s enterprise architecture and supporting a federated, domain-oriented data mesh approach. ECHA’s data landscape is characterised by moderate-volume, complex scientific and regulatory data, rather than high-volume time-series or transactional data. The architect must account for the semantic richness, traceability, and governance requirements inherent to this type of data.
• Direct the development of domain-level data products, ensuring they are discoverable, interoperable, secure, and aligned with business capabilities.
• Advise and oversee the implementation of robust data integration pipelines using Azure services such as Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Azure Synapse Analytics, enabling decentralized data ownership and cross-domain data sharing.
• Contribute to FinOps practices by designing data architectures and pipelines that optimise cloud resource usage and cost efficiency across Azure data services.
• Influence data modelling standards to support advanced analytics, reporting, and AI/ML initiatives on the Azure platform.
• Contribute to the development of data governance, metadata management, and data cataloguing practices using tools like Microsoft Purview, ensuring traceability, lineage, and compliance with EU regulations.
• Ensure data quality, availability, and security by collaborating with cybersecurity and infrastructure teams, embedding protection and privacy controls into all architectural artefacts.
• Support the evolution of ECHA’s data strategy by advocating for product thinking in data delivery and promoting architecture patterns that align with cloud-native and data mesh principles.
